12 Years / 12 Week: Week 5 Blood, Sweat and Tears of Blessings

Remembering Arizona would not be complete if I did not include our second home here.  This home was not new or shiny, and many drops of blood, sweat and tears have been shed as we made this old house into our home, but it has been one amazing memory builder for our family.

In 2008 we decided to sale our little home and upgrade to a bigger yard and home.  We knew this would be one great adventure for our family.

This home was older and needed a lot of work, but we were excited to take on this challenge and teach our kids how to work.

In this home we learned so many things:

Today we feel so blessed as we have the opportunity to turn this wonderful treasure in our lives over to a new family

Heavenly Father has truly blessed us and we cannot wait for the new adventure that is awaiting us in Washington
